The document discusses various learning methods that facilitate adaptation through experience, primarily focusing on classical and operant conditioning. It outlines key components of classical conditioning, including unconditioned and conditioned stimuli and responses, as well as operant conditioning's reinforcement mechanisms. Additionally, it highlights cognitive factors, particularly observational learning, as important elements of the learning process.
Learning Introduction
- 2. LEARNING can be defined as a vehicle to promote adaptation through experience. What experiences do we have in life that promote adaptation?
- 3. Ways of Learning •Classical Conditioning •Operant Conditioning •Cognitive Factors
- 5. Classical Conditioning A simple form of learning in which one stimulus calls for the response that is usually called forth by another stimulus.
- 7. Classical Conditioning Important Components: • US – Unconditioned Stimulus: A stimulus that causes an automatic response • UR – Unconditioned Response: The automatic response to the US • CR – Conditioned Response: A learned response to a stimulus that was previously neutral • CS – Conditioned Stimulus: The previously neutral stimulus (NS) that became a learned stimulus
- 9. ACTIVITY
- 11. Operant Conditioning People and animals learn to do certain things, and not others, because of the results of what they do (consequences of actions).
- 13. Reinforcement The process by which a stimulus increases the chances that the preceding behavior will occur again.
- 15. Operant Conditioning Important Related Concepts: •Schedules of Reinforcement •Interval •Ratio •Shaping
- 16. Scenarios
- 19. Cognitive Factors Observational Learning Describe two instances in which you learned something through observation
